...office of young Banker William Averell Harriman, who lately left Avco's chair (TIME, Oct. 31). Presently they summoned Avco's new Chairman Robert Lehman, President Cohu, and Cord's hard-bitten Vice President Lucius Manning. From noon until nearly midnight they argued, bartered. Then, on terms which will doubtless remain secret, they emerged with a truce: the Avco board shall be reduced from 35 to 15. Five will be chosen by the present regime (probably Harriman, Lehman, Cohu, Sherman Fairchild, one other); five will be Cord men (Cord, Manning, Vanderlip, two others).

That they were squaring off at the biggest Protestant question of a century doubtless did not occur at once to the little group of Baptist laymen who met with John D.

No one in Winthrop House, for example, would relish the idea of a towering apartment house on the land. Without University...
...does seem probable, however, that it will be used merely as a lawn immediately adjacent to Winthrop House. The land lying between Riverview Avenue and Mill Street now belongs to the University with the exception of the middle lot, which is still privately owned, but which the University will doubtless attempt to purchase...
